Hello, I'm running the latest OpenSSH version on my server, when I try and SSH into it via the Windows SSH client, I get to a command prompt just fine, however when I try to open a file transfer window I get the following message:
File transfer server could not be started or it exited unepectedly. Exit value 0 was returned. Most likely the sftp-server is not in the path of the user on the server-side
i've tried the following with no apparent success
adding /usr/lib/ssh (where sftp-server is located) to the users .bashrc
adding both sftp-server:ALL:
and sftp:ALL: to the hosts.allow file
and yes the bottom of my sshd_config file has
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-serverany help in this matter would be appreaciated, thank you

Have you tried sftp'ing to your local system to your local system to make sure the sftp subsystem is working correctly? For example. if your local Arch system has an IP of 192.168.1.2 try 'sftp 192.168.1.2' and see if you are able to get in.
What are you using for a Windows client? I've had great success with PuTTY and companions.

upon browsing other forums i have realized the error
The reason the shell startup files are relevant at all, is that sshd employs the user's shell when starting any programs on the user's behalf (using e.g. /bin/sh -c "command").
so it was my fault for my careless implementation of fortune in user's bash config files
